I love how thoroughly you research each one, and I always end up pinning images from your posts. Just a thought, though -- those two kitchens where you thought the pendants looked pink. Aren&#39;t those a copper finish rather than brass? I noticed that in each of them, the stylist has also placed a copper pot or teakettle on the stove. <br /><br />My thoughts about hardware: the main reason brass went out of style in the first place was the ubiquity of cheap, builder-grade brass plated fixtures. Those cheap imitations age horribly and left everyone hating &quot;brass.&quot; The high-end, well made hardware looks gorgeous forever as its patina evolves. Like you, I ripped every single doorknob, hinge, and light fixture with the tacky cheapo brass out of my house soon after we bought it and replaced it all with oil-rubbed bronze. It was quite the undertaking, so if I ever get sick of ORB I&#39;ll have to just move to another house with different finishes! ;-)Rebecca Gracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14801489818836195754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-922760901705441583.post-17187370114982940592014-03-07T03:35:32.525-06:002014-03-07T03:35:32.525-06:00For the woman in Chapel Hill building her house:
...For the woman in Chapel Hill building her house:<br />I would say fire that architect asap,,....... especially if the rest of his ideas are that off base! Obviously the only taste he has is in his mouth! LOL!<br /> Seriously , having been in the design business for many years and having had to correct many mistakes of architects ( when considering the fenestration of a house, many are infamous for forgetting that furniture will , indeed, be placed in the rooms) , there are not too many that I have run into in my 40 years of practice who are very good at decorating or interior design. Their talents usually lie elsewhere. <br /> Although Miss CdT&#39;s suggestions are very good, it might be helpful to hire an Interior Designer, preferably an ASID member, since usually many similar issue crop up when building. You can find a listing online through ASID. I am a N.C. member and do know that there are plenty of talented designers in your area.

When I see an update from you in my blog roll, I know it will be a worthwhile read. In the world of design blogs, Cote stands out with truly original and well-written content. I am a devout design lover, and my personal tastes are way more modern than the homes that you display, but your blog is still my favorite. I find your writing to be endlessly informative and entertaining. It&#39;s especially refreshing at the moment, with so many blogs that feel the pressure of a daily update, only to make mostly halfhearted efforts. So really all of this to say: this guy in his 30&#39;s with modern sensibilities adores your blog.

Snice I wanted to keep my original door, I had my hardware golden brass plated. It looks just like new and cost $100. What a deal. The brass plater said there are only a few factories who do the plating, so he sent it off. It took almost 6 weeks to get it back. My husband was so grumpy everytime he looked at the door and saw the hole in the door without the knob!

Except for polished nickel and chrome in the kitchen and baths, the hardware is all solid brass and the door knobs are mortised locks. The brass is untreated and aged - the door handles used often are brighter around the edges while those seldom used are a matte brown, rather like oiled rubbed bronze. I love this look, and it works well with the original stained woodwork. The kitchen and baths are mostly white with black, and the chrome and polished nickel look great in there. The master bath door has brass on the room side and polished nickel on the bath side. I suppose with modern open floor plans and kitchens open to family rooms, it might cause more of an issue. I&#39;ve re-done the knobs a few times in the kitchen, which we gutted when we moved in 26 years ago, and which I kept white and classic. At the time bright lacquered brass was in, and I used knobs and bin pulls in that, which I replaced after they started tarnishing through the lacquer. The last time I went with the polished nickel bin pulls, which worked with the chrome faucet, and antique style glass knobs on the doors. I love the look and it seems more in keeping with the age of the house. I have replaced the bath faucets out of necessity, but mimicked the originals, including porcelain hot and cold knobs on the pedestal sink. If it&#39;s classic, there&#39;s no point in changing for a trend. I realize it&#39;s a lot harder picking everything for a new house, but I would try to go for a look that&#39;s stood the test of time and not just a current trend. That said, I think sometimes it helps to think warm or cool and how this fits into your overall decorating style. Bronze and aged brass are warm; nickel and pewter are cool. If I were doing a house that was supposed to be Country French, I would study what the hardware looked like in the originals - old houses in France. I think that&#39;s what influenced Brooke at Velvet and Linen. Good luck - so many decisions with a new home!Carolynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10021913578112308091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-922760901705441583.post-46156655093076254372014-03-04T16:20:58.486-06:002014-03-04T16:20:58.486-06:00Very interesting post and very well done. My home...Very interesting post and very well done. My home was built in 1930 with solid brass hardware--knobs, hinges, etc. The kitchen and bath faucets were chrome. I would assume that a great many houses built in this period or even earlier would have had the same mix. I have since replaced the kitchen and bath faucets and at some point I used brass and at some point I used nickel, but I cannot see ever replacing all of the 80+ year old hardware. So I guess I would say you can mix it if you keep the basic &quot;hardware&quot; (as opposed to faucets) consistent throughout the house.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-922760901705441583.post-42956573300113177782014-03-04T14:51:49.071-06:002014-03-04T14:51:49.071-06:00This house meaning where I am today.This house meaning where I am today.The Quintessential Magpiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04010105595059019883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-922760901705441583.post-75041036205235791052014-03-04T14:50:04.400-06:002014-03-04T14:50:04.400-06:00This is one of my favorite features on your blog, ...This is one of my favorite features on your blog, Joni.
